The one-dimensional compression, yield and creep characteristics of the various silts, clays and amorphous peaty material tested were similar for the vertical and horizontal directions. The exception was the structured, coarse fibrous peaty material which was strongly cross-anisotropic. Drainage occurred more rapidly in the horizontal direction with horizontal-to-vertical permeability ratios r k of 1.0-1.7. Higher r k values were associated with more marked fabrics, namely for clays with fine sand partings, fibrous organic inclusions or fine root-holes and the laminated silts. The r k value was for practical purposes independent of the stress level.
